morning yoga

One of my most favorite things to do on this trip is morning yoga with P. She knocks on my door when she wakes, usually around 6:15am. If I'm awake, I answer. We take beach towels to the deck, where the sun is just starting to rise. Usually we may see one passenger and two crew during the half hour of stretching. Cool and breezy... It is really a lovely way to start the morning. 

P's headstand is pretty impressive, which she does even if the boat is in full motion. 

I am convinced that the sailors watch us every morning with a certain amount of amusement. They do offer us advice on the best dry spots to lay out our towels. One day a sailor was drying the deck next to me as I noticed P was doing her headstand. I got his attention and quietly pointed to her. He nodded as though he had seen it before and went back to work. The crazy women who do yoga at dawn?
